Vista - Problem with new Zune software and FolderShare

It appears that FolderShare is taking out some kind of lock on files that are
in the process of being created by the latest Zune software. This happens
both on CD rips as new songs are written to disk, and during podcast
downloads. The error in the Zune software says that the file is currently in
use (sorry, I don't have the exact text right now). If I temporarily shut
down FolderShare and retry, the file creation succeeds. This problem appears
to be sporadic; some files succeed without shutting down FolderShare, but
once a given file reports that error, subsequent retries on that file without
shutting FS down fail with the same error.

This isn't a huge problem for me as it seems that the Zune software will
retry on its own later if left unattended (maybe the download succeeds once
FS is finished syncing the file), but I wanted to report it as an issue in
case you want to log it.

Thanks!
Mike

Just realized something that might be useful, the library that these files
are in is not set to sync automatically with either of my other two
computers; both are set for manual sync. So the lock is occurring even
though the file contents are not actually being synced by FS.
